− Cama da terceira pessoa.
Stunning hotel in amazing location with top notch service!
9.0Beautiful hotel with amazing service! Great location with stunning rooftop pool. Staff were very attentive and rooms were cleaned twice daily. Breakfast options were abundant and service was outstanding! Would highly recommend this hotel!
− Loved it all!
Beautiful hotel close to everything
10.0I loved this hotel, which is so centrally located (an easy walk from the main train station). The staff was very warm and the breakfast was one of the best I've had in a European hotel. Yes, the hotel is expensive but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.
I wouldn't stay here again.
5.0The rooftop pool is nice, and the view is amazing. The breakfast was good.
− At the pool, a waiter came over and took my bottle of water from the table even though it was still three-quarters full, without asking me first. The reception staff seemed like they were on another planet. Considering how much they charge for a room, the staff are beyond criticism in the worst possible way.
A lovely stay, if it fell slightly short of expectations.
7.0Location and facilities.
− Room was dusty. Dysfunctional lift system. Not sure on value for money.
Best hotel in Florence
10.0Fantastic property. The pool was amazing in the hot weather. Classic luxury. Staff was amazing
− Nothing bad to write about
